To Build a Radar ...

Given an empty field and $2 million worth of hardware, how long does it take to assemble a working Doppler radar? The Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD) has rewritten the standard answer to that question, which had been "a year or more." ATD's Field Observing Facility (FOF) broke ground for the Denver area's newest Doppler in March and expects to begin testing the radar next week.

"Even as we speak, the electri- cians are completing various hookups between the electronics unit, the operations building, and the an- tenna," said Frank Pratte, project engineer, in an interview earlier this month. "It's a new radar to us and it has its own idiosyncrasies. With a little luck and maybe some divine providence, we'll have the thing up by July."

Once up and running, Mile High will support Denver's National Weather Service office in severe storm detection and warnings. Wind shear information will be relayed to pilots through Stapleton's air traffic control tower. The data will also be used for studies by ATD's Research Applica- tions Program, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Federal Aviation Administration, among other agencies. .BH
